Chapter 620 If one plan fails, another plan will be used

Early the next morning, Kong Kongshou was sent to the Yamen by Cui Fan and Liu Di. Before going out, Bai Ruozhu gave him some wound medicine. Not that Bai Ruozhu, the Holy Mother, was afraid that Kong Kongshou would faint from excessive blood loss and be sent to the office. It's not easy to go to the government for interrogation.

Kong Kongshou probably misunderstood and thought Bai Ruozhu was soft-hearted, so he said pitifully to her: "Madam, please let me go. I promise to help you steal one thing for free, or two things?"

Bai Ruozhu gave him a big roll of her eyes and said: "I won't do this kind of stealing, so please save it. Go to the government and explain clearly, try to get leniency for confessing, and then serve your sentence well, and reform your past mistakes in the future." "

He almost went out crying. His character was really inconsistent with his age. A middle-aged man who was known as a master thief was a talkative man and liked to pretend to be pitiful, which was really funny.

Bai Ruozhu did not show up when he went to the government this time. Bai Zehao followed Cui Fan and the others. Bai Zehao and Cui Fan told the prefect about the situation that night. When he was interrogated empty-handed, he confessed honestly, but he didn't know much. Mr. Lu took him into prison first and said that the Bai family would be notified if the results were found.

Lu Minglang was worried that the Turks were responsible for the rebellion, so he interrogated Kong Kongshou properly in the next few days. Poor Kong Kongshou was injured and tortured, but he could not reveal the mastermind at all, and in the end he could only fight in the government. came to look for the portrait of his steward.

Bai Ruozhu didn't care whether he could find out Mrs. Li. People like this were very careful in doing things. Even if the steward was found, it would be difficult to find Mrs. Li.

As long as they don't succeed and arrest people and make them nervous for a while, that's enough.

But soon, the news that someone came to Bai's house to steal the blueprints spread like wildfire. Many ladies and ladies in the city who were looking forward to attending the new product launch conference started talking again, because maybe a little change would affect their arrangements. journey. Many people thought it was done by Hua Xiangrong's competitor, and Hua Xiangrong was the only competitor in Beiyu City, that is, the fake Yun Xiangrong.

For a while, many people ridiculed Yun Xiangrong's master, mainly saying that fair competition in business was good, and it was really shameful to engage in such illegal and disciplinary matters.

Of course, no one knew that Mrs. Li was Yun Xiangrong's employer, let alone the idea of ​​the city lord's wife, but Mrs. Li and Wang Miaoshuang were furious because of this.

"Idiot! Don't you know how to find someone more powerful?" Wang Miaoshuang knocked on the table and shouted to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li's pretty face turned red and she whispered: "Madam, please calm down. Na Kong Kongshou is a famous thief in the neighborhood. He has good dexterity skills and a good lock-picking ability. But... no one expected that there is an old man in the Bai family." Two guards sent as a gift."

Wang Miao narrowed her eyes slightly. The guards of the Meng Mansion were naturally not comparable to ordinary people. At this moment, she did not feel that Mrs. Li was in trouble. Instead, she gritted her teeth and thought: It is that old woman who is working against me again.

"Madam, I thought about it. Since we don't have time to hold a new product launch conference first, it's better to let her press conference not be held well. As long as she messes up, Hua Xiangrong's reputation will be bad. How can she follow Shall we fight?" Mrs. Li said with a ruthless look in her eyes, she would never let Bai Ruozhu have an easy time this time.

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?" Wang Miaoshuang was in a better mood, and her tone of voice when talking to Mrs. Li became gentler.

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Mrs. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered in her ear for a long time, and a smile slowly appeared on Wang Miaoshuang's face.

"This won't work, this can still be done..." Mrs. Li said again, and the smile on Wang Miaoshuang's face became even stronger.

"That's right, but your hands and feet must be clean, and you don't want to leave any clues." After hearing this, Wang Miaoshuang stopped smiling and said with a straight face.

Mrs. Li nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, I will be careful. Even if I am empty-handed this time, I don't know anything."

Wang Miaoshuang nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the hairpin on Mrs. Li's head, and said, "Your hairpin is a little plain. I have a green one that should suit you. Let's wear it for you to play with."

Mrs. Li looked happy, knowing that Wang Miaoshuang thought she had done a good job and rewarded her.

She took the exquisite emerald hairpin handed to her by Wang Miaoshuang and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam, for the reward!"

Wang Miaoshuang nodded slightly, with a proud smile on his lips.

…

In the blink of an eye, on February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head comes, Danliang country does not have the custom of cutting hair on this day, because people in Danliang country pay attention to the body hair and skin and teach it to their parents, so they cannot cut their hair casually.

On this day, the street where Hua Xiangrong was located was extremely lively, and some nearby merchants and vendors also benefited from it. Business was more than twice as good as usual.

There were also clever merchants who asked people to carry burdens and went around selling hot roasted chestnuts. Many ladies and ladies bought them. It was warm to eat something hot on a cold day.

Bai Ruozhu arranged the newly rented shop as a place for distinguished guests to sit. Guests who received the message had seats, those with higher status sat on the second floor, and the others sat on the first floor.

A red carpet extended from the second floor of Hua Xiangrong's house to the street outside the shop door, extending more than ten meters to the left and right, and then turned into the new shop on the right, also extending to the second floor. superior.

Everyone from the Bai Family Courtyard came to help today. Zhang Liliang took on the role of shopkeeper and said to the guests outside the door: "Thank you for your compliments. Please move away from the red carpet so you can watch the new product show later."

"A catwalk?" The crowd started talking. This was the first time they heard what a catwalk was.

"Shopkeeper, tell us what a catwalk is?" a famous lady asked loudly.

Zhang Liliang said with a smile: "Madams, please be patient. You will understand when you see it later."

Mrs. Laifu was in the new shop greeting the distinguished guests who came today. She was the shopkeeper of Hua Xiangrong, and she had the most dealings with these people on weekdays.

Wang Miaoshuang also received the invitation. Even though Bai Ruozhu didn't want to invite her, she was the wife of the city lord and should have been the first one. Of course, Bai Ruozhu also invited the old lady, and now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are here. But Wang Miaoshuang came in a carriage with Mrs. Li.

Bai Ruozhu did not send an invitation to Mrs. Li, but Wang Miaoshuang wanted to bring someone, and no one could stop her.

"Shopkeeper Lin, why haven't you met your boss? We are all here for her sake, and she doesn't come to talk to us either?" Mrs. Li next to Wang Miaoshuang said.

"Yes, it's so lively here today, where is Ms. Bai?" Wang Miaoshuang agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Laifu saluted the two of them and said politely: "Let's go back to the city lord's wife. Our boss is busy backstage. She said that everyone is willing to reward you today, and she must organize the press conference. Otherwise, why would she have the nerve to come and see everyone? She Now I do everything by myself, so I probably have to wait until the press conference is over before I can come over.”
